According to a script developed by Apple and included with the
system, users can generate keyboard shortcuts using the following
approach, however, since this doesn't seem to work on my system I
wonder if additional information is required.
This script also demonstrates the syntax for adding a keyboard
shortcut to
a Scripts menu item. You can do this by suffixing the name of the
script with
three underscore characters, then the keyboard shortcut. For example:
MyScript___ctl-shift-Y
MyScript___opt-cmd-Z
*)
When I read the above I assume that if I create a unique key
sequence and add it to the script title as instructed I can use the
keyboard shortcut. However, I can't any response from it.
In addition I can't find any other documentation on it. Indeed a
Google search indicates that most people seem to use another
application to assign keyboard shortcuts.
Does anyone know:
a) Does the above technique work and if so what else is required to
get it working.
b) is there any documentation on this feature.
I believe this feature was available only in Mail's own, pre-Tiger
(Panther?) Scripts menu, Richard. Seems it's not possible using the
system-wide Script Menu - so you could be back to checking out those
third-party applications you mention...
